REAL PEOPLE, REAL ISSUES

Brandon Carter

Rapper/Producer Brandon Carter was born and raised on the South side of
Chicago, IL, until relocating to attend Howard University in
Washington, D.C. While pursuing his degree at Howard, Brandon began
his performance career, by opening for Hip Hop headliners, such as:
Kanye West, Fabolous, LL Cool J and T.I. Upon graduating, Brandon then
moved to New York, career driven! While a few offers by major labels
fell through, Brandon continued to pursue his dreams.

He released several mix tapes as well as performed throughout the
local East coast Hip Hop scene. But soon, rough times hit hard, and
Brandon found himself homeless and jobless. While living out of his car,
he was able to find a below minimum wage job until finally being
scouting by one of New York’s premiere modeling agencies. In a matter of
months, he went from being homeless to being on billboards all over New
York City and doing fashion shows all over the world. Brandon has done
work for Sean John, Puma, Nike, Akademick and many, many more. This
allowed him to be able to get his recording career back on track.

He independently, released his first album, South Side Bravado in
2008. Once again, tough times befell Brandon. The very same week that
South Side Bravado was released on iTunes, his father committed suicide.
But you can’t keep silent a true artist. Just a year after the tragic
passing of his father, Brandon went on to release two critically
acclaimed mix tapes: The Audacity of Dope and Black Friday. Now, a year
later, Brandon is back at it and ready to drop his second full length
studio album, Never Gave A F%ck. Not only is he the featured artist on
the LP, he also produced every track on it. This new album showcases
Brandon’s growth as a man, as an artist and as a producer, and has been
held as, “…his best work yet!”
